Introduction to Reliability Centered Maintenance
This course is designed to create awareness of transformer management from a reliability perspective.
This course is a 2 hour course which earns .20 CEU / 2 PDH / 2 NETA CTD
Transformer Components and Functions
This course will identify transformer components and subcomponents. It will describe the functions of the components and the elements of design that affect maintenance including core configuration, winding type, conductor material, solid insulation type, cooling, and oil preservation.
This course is a 2 hour course which earns .20 CEU / 2 PDH / 2 NETA CTD
Solid Insulation Life and Aging
This class will cover the importance of the solid insulation in transformers. Attendees will take an in-depth look into the mechanical strength of the paper , and will understand that maintaining mechanical strength of the solid insulation is critical to extending the life of the transformer.
This course is a 2 hour course which earns .20 CEU / 2 PDH / 2 NETA CTD
Insulating Liquids
This course will cover the four functions of insulating liquids in transformers. It will identify the aging mechanism of mineral oil, understand the use of inhibitor, and cover the application of alternate fluids.
This is a 2.5 hour course which earns .25 CEU/2.5 PDH / 2.5 NETA CTD
Oil Tests and Interpretation
This course will cover sampling and inspection practices for fluid filled transformers. It will cover routine and non-routine tests that can be performed and will identify industry standards for these tests.
This course is a 2.5 hour course which earns .25 CEU / 2.5 PDH / 2.5 NETA CTD
Moisture in Transformers
This course will address the problems created by moisture in transformers. It will cover percent saturation, percent moisture by dry weight, and why those responsible for transformer maintenance need to understand the importance of managing moisture in their transformer fleet.
This course is a 2-hour course which earns .20 CEU / 2 PDH / 2 NETA CTD
Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) & Furans
